Why does Beer’s Law apply only to relatively dilute solutions and not concentrated ones?
Why is it important to take absorbance readings of a solution at its wavelength of maximum absorption? (1 mark)
This questions are related to spectrometry.
Cana nyone help me with these questions please? thanks!
Actually, it CAN apply to concentrated solutions if the standards and unknowns are close to the same value. The problem comes if we calculate the constant in the Beer-Lambert relationship at one concentration and try to extend that to one an all concentrations. Concentrated solutions have solute-solute and solute-solvent interactions that complicate the linear relationship of A = abc.
